In the comments, Jack mentioned there was a typo, and the Supra was actually a second slower than they posted. A 1:33.xxx instead of 1:32.xxx. Either way, it does seem quite fast around that track, and should be good news for 99% of us.Surprised to see the Supra is quicker than the new M2 around a track.
On the other hand, it's 500 lbs lighter.
Still slightly quicker, which I wasn't expecting at all. I thought the new M2 was going to be a lot quicker.In the comments, Jack mentioned there was a typo, and the Supra was actually a second slower than they posted. A 1:33.xxx instead of 1:32.xxx.

I'm not. I do think the Supra is the best BMW M car currently out. At least for track driving.Surprised to see the Supra is quicker than the new M2 around a track.
I order stuff through Jackie and have met him. He wants to put his M2 on a severe diet. Should be interesting. I don't have the stomach to take an M2 and hack it all up like I did the ZupraI'm not. I do think the Supra is the best BMW M car currently out. At least for track driving.
That said, Jackie is hyping the ever living shiat out of the new M2, well, because it creates views. This isn't a criticism, just a reality.

Yeah, while I'll never like the car, I'm interested in how much weight one can actually scoop out of it to make it a more effective track weapon.I order stuff through Jackie and have met him.

This is also the reason the Nissan GT-R was never on my list. It's insanely capable, but lacks character, and isn't 'dangerous' enough. I want a sports car that kind of scares me, keeps me on edge, and punishes me for my driving mistakes. The MKV does a good job of that, especially with a decent tune & power bump. Not to mention, the MKV is a visual stunner from every angle!I'm less concerned about the lap times and more how the car feels and how it makes you feel. It seems to me that most of the comparisons that I have seen and read state mostly the same thing. The new M2, while extremely capable and fast, has lost it's personality and now just blends in with all the other M cars, where the previous M2 had it's own more traditional M car personality.
